12 How to Use This FTI Out-of-Control Flight FTI HOW TO USE THIS FTI This Flight Training Instruction (FTI) is your textbook for the Out-of-Control Flight (OCF) stage of your Jet Pilot Training and is the source document for all procedures related to OCF. In addition, it includes suggested techniques for performing each maneuver and making corrections. Use your FTI to prepare for and afterward to review lessons and flights. This information will help you effectively prepare for lessons: know all the procedures in the assigned section(s), review the glossary, and be prepared to ask your instructor about anything that remains unclear. Then you can devote your attention to flying the T-45. After a flight, review the FTI materials to reinforce your understanding and to clarify any difficult maneuvers or procedures. Note that this FTI also contains information on ejection situations related to this stage. This information amplifies but does not supercede the emergency procedures information contained in the T-45 NATOPS manual. Reading requirements for flight procedures lessons (lectures) are listed in Appendix A, Lesson Preparation, along with the course learning objectives. The end-of-stage exam will be based on these objectives. Complete the required reading prior to each lesson (lecture). Page xii

14 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Introduction CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION TO OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT 100. INTRODUCTION This FTI will provide supplemental aerodynamic background information and establish procedures for out-of- Control flight training. It is designed to provide you with the fundamental knowledge necessary to recognize, analyze, and recover from the loss of aerodynamic control of the aircraft. Out-of-control flight will be addressed in several stages of the curriculum, so consequently you will use this FTI in conjunction with other FTI s throughout your training. Flight at high AOA and/or slow airspeed is an inherent part of offensive and defensive maneuvering, and many tactical situations dictate that you fly the aircraft to the limits of its controllability. Reluctance to fly in this regime because of possible departure from controlled flight not only limits the aircraft s maneuvering capability, but greatly reduces its effective employment as a weapons platform. The confidence factor necessary to operate under these flight regimes is directly proportional to your ability to correctly recognize, analyze, and recover from the occasional out-of-control flight condition associated with high AOA maneuvering. Prior training, actual flight experience, and exposure to departures and post-departure gyrations are essential to enable you to function efficiently in this regime. What is OCF? Answer: The moment in time when unexpected results occur from normal control inputs! Why do we practice OCF Maneuvers? Answer: Builds confidence in your ability to regain control after an inadvertent OCF incident. Page 1

16 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles CHAPTER TWO AERODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES 200. AERODYNAMIC DEFINITIONS Before discussing the aerodynamics of out-of-control flight, we will review some of the pertinent definitions. Review your Aerodynamics Lesson Guide for more in-depth discussions. ANGLE OF ATTACK (AOA or α) The instantaneous angle between a reference line on the aircraft (usually the wing chord line) and the relative wind direction (Figure 1). Page 3
17 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI YAW ANGLE (ψ) The displacement of an aircraft s centerline from some reference azimuth. This term is normally used in wind tunnel tests and is presented here only to minimize or eliminate the tendency to confuse it with yaw rate or angle of sideslip (Figure 2). YAW RATE The rate of change of yaw angle (ψ), manifested as how fast the nose of the aircraft is moving across the horizon. Yaw rate is measured in degrees/second. SIDESLIP ANGLE (β) The displacement of the aircraft centerline from the relative wind, rather than from a reference axis. (Figure 3). Page 4
18 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles STATIC DIRECTIONAL STABILITY The tendency of the aircraft to return to steady-state flight after a disturbance in the horizontal plane. Directional stability can be positive, neutral, or negative. The three types of directional stability are illustrated in Figure 4. Page 5
19 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI BODY AXIS SYSTEM Those points about which the aircraft will rotate (Figure 5). MOMENT OF INERTIA (I) With respect to any given axis, the moment of inertia is a measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration. I x, I y, I z are moments of inertia about the respective body axes (Figure 5) EFFECTS OF MASS DISTRIBUTION Mass distribution defines the way in which the mass of an aircraft is distributed between the fuselage and the wings. Because aircraft are flattened into the XY plane, the maximum moment of inertia is invariably around the yaw, or Z, axis (I z )~ Depending on the aircraft s mass distribution, I x is greater or less than I y, as illustrated in Figure 6. Mass distribution is usually expressed in terms of the inertia yawing moment parameter (IYMP): Where: I x and I y = Moments of inertia around the indicated axis M = Mass of the aircraft b = Wingspan I x I y IYMP= Mb 2 Page 6
20 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles If roll inertia (l x ) is greater than pitch inertia (I y ), then the aircraft has a positive IYMP and is said to be wingloaded. If the pitch inertia is greater than the roll inertia, then IYMP is negative and the aircraft is said to be fuselage-loaded. Most current tactical aircraft are fuselage-loaded, even with ordnance on the wing stations. Page 7
21 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI An aircraft that has a large negative IYMP will tend to spin in a flatter nose attitude than an aircraft that is neutrally loaded or wing-loaded. The inertial moments on the spinning aircraft will pull the nose toward the horizon (Figure 7). As you will see later, the mass distribution will also significantly affect spin recovery requirements FIVE PHASES OF OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT 1. Stall 2. Departure 3. Post Departure Gyrations 4. Incipient Phase of a Spin 5. Steady State Spin STALL When an increase in AOA produces a reduction in the coefficient of lift and an increase in drag. Stall occurs when the boundary layer separates from the upper surface of the wing. Figure 8 represents some of the T-45 key stall AOA s in relation to airspeed before the stall. ARTIFICIAL STALL WARNING STALL BUFFET STALL CLEAN 21.5 Units / 10 KIAS 25 Units / 1 to 2 KIAS 26 Units / 0 KIAS APPROACH 21.5 Units / 10 KIAS 28 Units / 1 KIAS Units / 0 KIAS Note: All Speeds are KIAS above Stall Speed Page 8 Figure 8: T-45 KEY STALL AOA s
22 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles DEPARTURE That phase of flight during which the aircraft transitions from controlled to uncontrolled flight (Figure 9). The moment in time when normal control inputs stop working or when airspeed is <85 KIAS. Figure 9: DEPARTURE BOUNDARY You must realize that the AOA you see just prior to departure will vary significantly depending on the maneuver you re performing, i.e., how much yaw rate or sideslip you re generating. The higher the yaw rate or sideslip, the lower the cockpit AOA at departure. Note: CNATRA defines DEPARTURE as any time the aircraft rolls through 90 degrees AOB uncommanded, following a stall. Page 9
23 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI POST-DEPARTURE GYRATIONS (PDG) The random and uncontrollable motions of the aircraft about any or all axes following a departure from controlled flight, but before the incipient phase of a spin. In a PDG, much of the motion can be attributed to inertial forces and moments. Bottom line, during PDG s the aircraft is depleting its stored energy to the point where a spin can develop. INCIPIENT PHASE OF A SPIN The initial, transitory phase of spin, characterized by yawing, rolling, and pitching motions during which it is possible to begin to identify the spin mode. Rotational motion of an aircraft following a stall, but prior to the equalization of aerodynamic and inertial forces resulting in steady-state spin or recovery. Motion is characterized by: 1. Stalled AOA throughout 2. Rotation in the direction of the spin 3. Varying roll, yaw, and pitch rates 4. Average rotation rate usually slower than steady state STEADY-STATE SPIN The final phase of a spin, characterized by a sustained yaw rotation and a stalled AOA. Aircraft motions from turn to turn are repeatable and consist of a yawing, rolling, and pitching helical motion in which the aerodynamic and inertial moments or forces are in balance. It is characterized by autorotation. That is, the aircraft will continue to spin without pro-spin controls. The spin is self-sustaining OUT-OF-CONTROL RECOGNITION Out-of-control flight (departure from controlled flight) is comprised of two elements, aerodynamic stall and yaw. Generally, impending departure from controlled flight is indicated by one or more of the following symptoms: 1. Mushy flight controls 2. Unresponsiveness to control inputs 3. Buffeting and buffet noise 4. Wing walk The following are fairly unmistakable indications that you have entered uncontrolled flight: 1. Excessive yaw rate 2. Spinning or tumbling 3. Decaying airspeed and uncontrollable altitude loss Page 10
24 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles Loss of control of an aircraft can be a confusing and disorienting experience. If you are to recover, you must make a rapid analysis of the specific phase of out-of-control flight. Visual and seat of the pants cues are insufficient for you to differentiate between departure, post-departure gyration, incipient phase of a spin, or steady-state spin. Even the seemingly obvious determination of whether the aircraft is in an erect or inverted mode may not be possible through sensory cues. In an erect spin, the aircraft may spin in a relatively nose-down attitude with a high-g roll rate, or it may spin in a flat attitude with a high yaw rate and very little roll rate. In a steady-state spin, the flight path is vertical, i.e., straight down. The axis of the spin, or the center of the spin rotation, is also straight down. In a steep nose down attitude, the axis of rotation lies forward, and in some extreme cases the axis may be forward of the entire aircraft. As the nose rises to a flatter attitude, the axis of rotation moves aft. If it moves behind the cockpit, and if a high yaw rate is present, you will experience high transverse-g ( eye-balls out ) forces (Figure 10). There is a possibility that you will interpret these transverse G forces as negative-g s. The problem is further compounded when roll, pitch, and yaw oscillations vary in the direction and magnitude of G forces and literally tumble you about the cockpit. Figure 10: G FORCES WITH SPIN AFT OF COCKPIT Since you can t rely on outside visual and sensory cues to determine the mode of flight, you must ignore your intuitive responses. The only satisfactory means of analyzing the situation, and thereby properly recovering from out-of-control flight, is by referencing instruments. Page 11
25 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI 204. INSTRUMENT INDICATIONS Four instruments provide us information for out-of-control flight. The first is for obvious safety considerations, while the other three provide us all the information necessary for recognition and recovery: 1. Altimeter 2. AOA indicator 3. Airspeed indicator 4. Turn needle Altimeter You must reference the altimeter to determine how much time is available for recovery. If you have not seen indications of recovery by 10,000 ft AGL, EJECT. AOA Indicator AOA primarily determines post-departure gyration, whether the spin mode is upright or inverted, and spin recovery. Airspeed Indicator The airspeed in a steady-state spin will be stable, or oscillating about a constant airspeed. An airspeed above or below a characteristic range for the type of aircraft, or a steadily increasing airspeed, indicates that the aircraft is not in a steady-state spin. Turn Needle The turn needle will be fully pegged in the direction of the spin. It does not provide other information about the phase of flight; the needle may also be fully pegged during a post-departure gyration or a high-speed spiral, for example. The turn needle, however, must be relied on to indicate the direction of the rotation since you can misinterpret visual cues during the extreme disorientation that often accompanies out-of-control flight THE ERECT or UPRIGHT SPIN The motion of an aircraft in a spin can involve many complex aerodynamic and inertial moments and forces. However, there are certain fundamental relationships regarding spins with which you must be familiar. The two primary factors which must be present for an aircraft to spin are: 1. Stalled AOA 2. Sideslip or yaw rate Figure 11 illustrates the rotational velocities experienced by an aircraft in a spin. Notice that the increased AOA on the down-going wing produces decreased lift and increased drag relative to the up-going wing. Remember, up-going and down-going are in the context of rolling moments which are in relation to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, not the surface of the planet. The increased drag on the down-going wing perpetuates yaw of the spin while the decreased lift on the down-going wing perpetuates the roil of the spin. With sustained yaw and roll rate, the aircraft is on its way to a steady-state spin in which there is no overall increase in spin velocity. It is true that velocity may increase and decrease in an oscillatory spin, but these oscillations are cyclical. Page 12
26 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles Figure 11: AERODYNAMICS OF A SPIN Page 13
27 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI A familiar analogy is a falling leaf. The leaf spins to the ground in a balanced autorotation: aerodynamic forces are acting on the leaf in concert to produce a regular spin motion. Figure 12 illustrates how these differential aerodynamic forces cause autorotation. In a spin, the aircraft is rolling and yawing at some AOA above stall. In an upright spin, the aircraft rolls and yaws in the same direction; in an inverted spin, the aircraft rolls and yaws the opposite direction. The up-going wing will experience a decrease in angle of attack with an increase in lift and decrease in drag relative to the down-going wing. Therefore, the upgoing wing will become less stalled. The resulting autorotation rolling moments and yawing moments start the aircraft into a steady-state spin. For this reason, roll damping (resistance to roll) is negative at angles of attack above stall; the rolling motion produces a rolling moment in the direction of the roll. This negative damping is referred to as autorotation. Figure 12 shows a graphic depiction of roll and yaw autorotation. Figure 12: AUTOROTATION IN T-45 AIRCRAFT Page 14
28 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles So far, these characteristics are shared by both conventional and high-speed aircraft configurations. An important characteristic true only of the conventional aircraft configuration is that the spin is primarily rolling with a moderate yaw rate. The modern high-speed aircraft configuration (F-14, F/A-18, etc.) is typified by a low-aspect ratio and a sweptwing plan-form with relatively large yaw and pitch inertia. Figure 13 illustrates the aerodynamic characteristics of this configuration. The lift curve in Figure 13 is quite shallow at high angles of attack, and maximum lift is not clearly defined. When this type of aircraft rolls at high angles of attack, relatively small changes in the lift coefficient take place. The adverse yaw due to roll can be very strong prior to stall. When this effect is combined with a low roll inertia, it is apparent that the roll moments will be relatively weak and will not predominate. The drag curve, on the other hand, is increasingly steeper with increasing AOA. Thus, the relatively large differential in drag with rolling motion creates a predominance of yaw in the spin. Figure 13: AERODYNAMICS OF HIGH-SPEED AIRCRAFT In addition, aircraft with relatively large, long fuselages (F-14) exhibit a significant moment from the fuselage which acts to flatten out the spin. This moment is capable of producing pro-spin moments of considerable magnitude, which contribute to the self-sustaining nature of the spin. The large distributed mass of the fuselage in rolling-yawing rotation contributes to inertia moments which flatten the spin and place the aircraft at extreme (80-90 ) angles of attack. Page 15
29 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI 206. INVERTED SPINS Inverted spins are an interesting and spectacular realm of flight; they are also a realm with which most pilots are unfamiliar. Aerodynamically, the inverted spin is quite similar to the erect spin. The conditions required to enter an inverted spin are: 1. Negative stalled AOA 2. Sideslip or yaw The inverted spin, although not frequently encountered, can be extremely disorienting. A primary reason for the disorientation, in addition to the negative load factors, is that yaw and roll are in opposite directions. Because pilots are more sensitive to roll than to yaw, a pronounced tendency exists for you to analyze the spin in the direction of the roll, instead of in the direction of the yaw RECOVERY ANALYZE SITUATION The proper recovery depends upon an accurate analysis of the situation. Faulty analysis and subsequent application of improper control inputs can result in a worsening situation and loss of the aircraft. In order for the aircraft to achieve a steady-state spin, it must progress through all five phases of out-of-control flight: 1. Stall: AOA above stall 2. Departure: Loss of aerodynamic control 3. Post-departure gyration: AOA, turn needle, and airspeed oscillating 4. Incipient phase of a spin: AOA and turn needle pegged, airspeed oscillating 5. Steady-state spin: AOA and turn needle pegged; airspeed steady or oscillating slightly Page 16
30 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles Figure 14 presents an overview of the OCF progression and recovery inputs used during the various phases. It also depicts the recovery evolution, which happens in the exact opposite order of events. For example, if a steady state spin develops you must use anti-spin controls to bring you back into the incipient phase of a spin then to post departure gyrations and so on until full recovery occurs.

31 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI 208. RECOVERY FROM STEADY-STATE SPINS To recover the aircraft from a spin, you need to do two things: 1. Reduce the yaw rate 2. Reduce the angle of attack Reducing the yaw rate involves a number of factors. Principal among these factors are mass distribution, which is by far the most important single factor, and tail design. You can usually use these two engineering characteristics to predict the controls required for recovery and whether the aircraft has satisfactory recovery capabilities. As explained earlier, mass distribution significantly affects the spin characteristics of an aircraft. A fuselageloaded aircraft will spin in a flatter attitude, with yaw much more predominant than roll. In these aircraft, rudder authority may not be sufficient to reduce the yaw rate enough to affect recovery and usually requires a lateral stick input. Tail design, or the position of the horizontal stabilizer may disrupt airflow across the rudder, decreasing rudder effectiveness in the spin. Figure 15 shows examples of the effect that tail design has on rudder effectiveness. A parameter used to describe tail design is the tail damping power factor (TDPF), which is a measure of the damping provided by the unshielded part of the rudder. Generally speaking, the higher the TDPF, the more likely it is that the rudder will be an effective recovery control surface. Page 18
32 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles Figure 15: TAIL DESIGN A third factor which affects spin recovery is the aircraft relative density factor (µ), which is given by the following equation: µ = Aircraft Density = M/Sb Air Density р Heavily loaded tactical aircraft have density factors as high as 100. Light civilian aircraft have density factors around 25. Page 19
33 Aerodynamic Principles Out-of-Control Flight FTI The combination of these factors determines the control requirements necessary to reduce the yaw rate. A neutrally loaded or slightly fuselage-loaded aircraft with a good tail design (such as the T-2) recovers easily with rudder opposite to the direction of spin. A high performance aircraft (such as the F-14 and F-18) does not possess enough rudder effectiveness to reduce yaw rate, and you must provide additional anti-spin moments for rapid recovery. Deflecting ailerons reduces the autorotation rolling moment and produces adverse yaw to aid the rudder yawing moment in effecting recovery. The second requirement for recovery is to reduce your AOA. In most aircraft, neutral elevator will ensure a reduced AOA once you reduce the yaw rate. In some aircraft, however, you must use forward or aft stick during the initial phase of recovery to increase the effectiveness of the rudder. Figure 16 depicts the erect spin recovery controls for several aircraft. AV-8 A-4 T-45 F-14 T-38 EA-6 T-2 T-34 Rudder Against Against Against Against Against Aileron With With Neutral Neutral Neutral Elevator Neutral Fwd or Aft Aft Neutral Forward FUSELAGE LOADED WING LOADED Figure 16: ERECT SPIN RECOVERY CONTROLS 209. PROGRESSIVE SPINS A progressive spin occurs when an aircraft enters a second spin immediately following initial recovery from a spin, with the direction of the rotation normally opposite to that of the original spin. A progressive spin may result from holding in anti-spin inputs after rotation stops, holding in aft stick during recovery, or initiating recovery pullout with insufficient airspeed or excessive AOA. The reversal in the rotation may be quite violent, and the spin may tend to be more nose-low with faster rotation than the initial spin. In all cases, maintain neutral controls, reference altitude/aoa/airspeed/ and turn needle, and after ascertaining the flight mode, execute the appropriate recovery procedures HIGH-SPEED SPIRALS You may confuse a high-speed spiral with a spin if you don t properly analyze the flight instruments. However, when you reference the instruments, you will immediately recognize that you are not in a spin. The high-speed spiral is characterized by a nose-low attitude, high roll rates, and minor yaw rates. The AOA may be above stall, but not pegged; the airspeed will generally be increasing above the normal spin airspeeds. The turn needle is fully deflected in the direction of roll and yaw. Because of the high airspeeds that may be encountered, the altitude loss may exceed the altitude loss in a steady-state spin. Page 20
34 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Aerodynamic Principles 211. PILOT FACTORS IN OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT Now that we have discussed out-of-control aerodynamics and aircraft design factors, we will discuss several factors affecting your performance when the aircraft departs controlled flight. TIME DISTORTION Studies have shown that the average pilot under the stresses of out-of-control flight perceives time to be passing about five times faster than it really is. This leads to reluctance to maintain the proper recovery controls long enough. The pilot feels that the controls have been held for a long time, and that recovery should have taken place; therefore, it must be time to try something else and recovery is consequently prevented. The only sure way to avoid the problems brought about by time distortion is to analyze the problem accurately, know the aircraft s recovery procedures, maintain the recovery controls, and be patient. If, on the other hand, you haven t recovered by 10,000 ft AGL, EJECT. G-FORCE DISTORTION As discussed earlier, g-force distortion, or unreliable seat of the pants cues, can cause you to misunderstand the situation and apply improper recovery controls. You must make a conscious effort to disregard the perceived g forces and trust the indications of the instruments. CONTROL INPUTS Your initial reaction to an out-of-control situation will frequently be contrary to the necessary control application, primarily in the use of the lateral controls. For example, upon experiencing a wing drop or roll during a departure, your instinct is to counter with ailerons, which induces adverse yaw, aggravates the departure, and can lead to a spin. In those aircraft that require aileron in the direction of the spin to recover, it may feel very unnatural to do so. You must position all controls deliberately, and to ensure that they are properly placed, you must visually check all controls for correct position. SEAT RESTRAINT OCF may cause you to be thrown out of reach of the controls. Keeping the lap belts as tight as possible will help prevent this problem. However, under heavy negative g loads or high transverse g, reaching the controls will take a definite effort even if the lap belts are tight. Note: If completely disoriented and unable to recognize any phase of the OCF encounter, NEUTRALIZE- IDLE. They are the two most important procedures to remember. Page 21

36 Out-of-Control Flight FTI T-45 Characteristics 300. T-45 STALL CHARACTERISTICS CHAPTER THREE T-45 OUT OF CONTROL FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS In the T-45, impending stall is announced by light buffeting which increases in intensity as you approach stall. Depending on the aircraft configuration and the rate of deceleration, the stall may be signified by a yaw, wing drop, or development of high sink rate in pronounced buffet. If the deceleration is rapid, you can penetrate the stall until the control stick is fully aft. The controls remain effective throughout, and you can terminate the stall by relaxing back stick pressure, maintaining wings level with rudder, and simultaneously advancing throttle. Check engine EGT and RPM after any stall to ensure engine is stall free. CLEAN CONFIGURATION STALL With flaps/slats and gear up, idle, and without external stores, the onset of light buffet is at about 22 units AOA. If you increase the AOA beyond buffet, the aircraft will remain controllable until a wing drop occurs at about 26 units. The aircraft then descends at a high rate and in a flat attitude with wing rock and yaw oscillations. TAKEOFF CONFIGURATION STALL With 1/2 flaps and landing gear down, idle, and without external stores, the onset of buffet is at about units AOA. As you approach the stall, buffet increases but the aircraft displays no tendency to yaw. The stall is usually announced by a gentle wing drop at units AOA. You can fly the aircraft beyond stall AOA, controlling any roll activity with rudder, until the stick is fully aft. LANDING CONFIGURATION STALL With flaps/slats fully extended, landing gear down, idle, and without external stores, the stall characteristics are similar to those with 1/2 flaps. The pre-stall buffet begins at about units AOA, and the stall occurs at units AOA. WARNING: If you continue the stall in the landing configuration until the stick is fully aft, the aircraft may develop pitch and roll oscillations which you cannot control, and recovery is likely to result in a large altitude loss. EMERGENCY FLAP CONFIGURATION STALL With flaps extended and slats retracted (emergency flap extension or slat failure), the aircraft will exhibit no natural stall warning during the approach to stall. Stall warning rudder pedal shaker comes on at 21.5 units AOA, closely followed by the stall at units AOA. Stall airspeed is 9-11 KIAS greater than landing configuration at the same gross weight. The stall is very disorienting and is characterized by a slight pitch-up of 4-5 degrees followed by an abrupt roll-off of degrees AOB. Following roll-off, the aircraft is left in a 30-degree nose down pitch attitude. If recovery is initiated immediately upon roll-off, altitude loss can be minimized to 700-1,000 ft. Note: The centerline store (baggage container) has little effect on the stall characteristics of the T-45. Wing stores, including bar pylons, have a slightly destabilizing effect on pitch but a negligible effect on stall speeds. ACCELERATED STALL Accelerated stalls are defined as those stalls entered at load factors greater than 1.0 g. The amount of pre-stall buffet warning during accelerated maneuvers varies with Mach number and altitude. In general, the warning margin is greatest at about 0.60 IMN. The buffet boundary is clearly defined and provides a good warning of the stall at all attitudes. Below about 0.40 IMN, the buffet onset occurs nearly at the maximum turning performance of the aircraft. Recovery is immediate with the release of back stick pressure. The presence of wing stores increases the severity of pre-stall buffet. However, the characteristics are otherwise similar to those of a clean configuration DIRECTIONAL DEPARTURES Directional departures can be caused by excessive or abrupt rudder application at low to moderate airspeeds and Page 23
37 T-45 Characteristics Out-of-Control Flight FTI are insidious because of the limited warning of the impending departure. As discussed in Chapter 1, departures occur at a lower angle of attack when sideslip is introduced. The directional departure is characterized by an abrupt pitch-up, followed by one to two snap rolls in the direction of the applied rudder. Neutralizing flight controls will effect immediate recovery. WARNING: Intentional directional departures are prohibited at airspeeds greater than 160 KIAS to avoid possible overstress VERTICAL MANEUVERING AND DEPARTURES Vertical, low airspeed departures are generally mild and will take one of two different forms. If the pitch attitude is less than 90 degrees, the aircraft will pitch abruptly forward; if over 90 degrees, the nose will fall slowly backward. In some cases, with the pitch attitude just over 90 degrees, the aircraft will slide down on its tail (tail-slide). WARNING: During testing, approximately half of the tail-slides resulted in engine anomalies, such as engine surges, locked-in surges, or flameouts. During flight tests, approximately 10% of the tail-slides resulted in an inverted spin. Although entering an inverted spin is unlikely even after a tail-slide, you should avoid maneuvering within 20 degrees of the vertical when less than 100 KIAS to prevent the possibility of a tail-slide. WARNING: Intentional spins and tail-slides are prohibited POST-DEPARTURE GYRATIONS If you hold the control inputs after the aircraft departs controlled flight, the aircraft will continue to oscillate about any or all axes in increasingly nose low attitudes. From a 1.0-g departure, these oscillations are mild with roll in the direction of applied rudder. Post-departure gyrations resulting from accelerated stalls are similar except that initial roll rates will be higher. In either case, neutralizing the controls will effect rapid recovery, normally in a nose low attitude. AOA and airspeed must be checked to determine when to start pullout. CAUTION: Risk of engine stall increases when maneuvering at high angles of attack and/or above heavy buffet when the engine is accelerating from low power settings or at high power settings SPINS GENERAL The T-45 aircraft is highly resistant to upright and inverted spins. While upright spins have been achieved in flight tests, they are unstable and tend to oscillate out of the spin. During departure and spin testing, no upright spins were achieved with rudder pedals centered and lateral and longitudinal stick neutralized. Stabilized inverted spins are possible and have been entered from pure vertical maneuvers (tail-slides). If you depart controlled flight, you should neutralize the controls and forcefully center the rudder pedals until you determine whether the out-of-control motion is a post-departure gyration or a spin. Analyze AOA, airspeed, and turn needle to determine the nature of the out-of-control motion. If the AOA is positive for any length of time, the aircraft is upright. If the AOA is at or fluctuating near zero, the airplane is probably inverted. If the turn needle or AOA is changing significantly, the aircraft is probably not in a spin, but is in a post-departure gyration. Page 24
38 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Change 1 T-45 Characteristics Pegged AOA, airspeed oscillating between 50 and 160 KIAS, and pegged turn needle verify a fully developed spin. AOA pegged at 0 units indicates an inverted spin, while AOA above 28 units indicates an upright spin. Due to the disorienting nature of spins, particularly inverted, you must reference the turn needle to determine spin direction. Turn needle to the right indicates a right spin, while turn needle to the left indicates a left spin. An engine anomaly will likely occur during post-departure gyrations and spins. Monitor EGT and RPM after departure/spin recovery to determine engine status. An inverted spin will likely result in either a flameout or surge regardless of power setting.

AOA pegged at zero. Turn needle is pegged in the direction of the spin. Altitude loss is approximately 1000 feet per turn. Rotational rates are about 80 to 100 degrees per second or 3 to 4 seconds per turn. Load factor is 0.5 to 1.4g s. Lateral accelerations of.5 to 1.5g s are common. -40 DEGREE TRUE AOA SPIN MODE The 40 degree mode is characterized by airspeed oscillating between 100 and 160 KIAS. AOA pegged at zero. Turn needle is pegged in the direction of the spin. Altitude loss is approximately 1000 feet per turn. Rotational rates are about 80 to 100 degrees per second or 3 to 4 seconds per turn. Figure 17a: INVERTED SPIN Load factor is 0.5 to 1.4g s. Lateral accelerations of.5 to 1.5g s are common. -25 DEGREE TRUE AOA SPIN MODE The 25 degree mode is characterized by airspeed oscillating between 140 and 200 KIAS. AOA pegged at zero. Turn needle is pegged in the direction of the spin. Altitude loss is approximately 1700 feet per turn. Rotational rates are about 80 to 100 degrees per second or 3 to 4 seconds per turn. Load factor is 0.5 to 1.4g s. Lateral accelerations of.5 to 1.5g s are common. This mode is similar to an inverted diving spiral. The nose attitude is about 60 degrees below the horizon with about 15 to 25 true AOA. Page 25
39 T-45 Characteristics Out-of-Control Flight FTI Note: The 25-degree AOA mode, can only be achieved with anti-spin controls held in above 160 KIAS RECOVERY FROM AN INVERTED SPIN Recovery from the 60 or -40 negative AOA inverted spin modes (airspeed below 160 KIAS) can be accomplished by applying full rudder pedal and full lateral stick opposite the turn needle. Longitudinal stick should be neutral. Holding in rudder opposite the turn needle is often difficult due to high sideslip forces on the rudder. Once anti-spin controls have been applied, airspeed should be monitored carefully. Note: Lateral stick deflection which is anti-spin for the 40 and 60 modes is pro-spin for the 25 mode. Lateral stick must be neutralized when airspeed increases past 160 KIAS or when the aircraft recovers, whichever occurs first. Failure to neutralize lateral stick with airspeed increasing past 160 KIAS may result in entry into the 25 degree true AOA spin mode and delay recovery. Once lateral stick has been neutralized, the AOA indicator should be monitored for indications of recovery for rudder pedal release. AOA increasing above 5 units AOA and yaw and rolling motions damping out are positive recovery indications. Page 26 WARNING: Releasing pedal force prior to recovery may allow rudder blow out in the pro-spin direction and significantly delay recovery to below 10,000 feet. Occasionally the aircraft transitions into a PDG when controls are neutralized, instead of immediately recovering, but subsequently recovers. If rudder is allowed to blow out during the PDG, the aircraft may return to the spin. In the event the aircraft does not recover and airspeed drops below 160KIAS for any length of time, the pilot should reapply anti-spin controls, altitude permitting. WARNING: Extended speed brakes are destabilizing and may aggravate the departure and delay recovery. If the rudder blows out due to sideslip forces, a spin is possible and recovery will be delayed. CAUTION: You should expect engine anomalies following any departure. Retarding the throttle to idle will minimize engine problems, but will not eliminate the potential for a flameout or locked-in surge ERECT OR UPRIGHT SPINS Although unstable and transitory in nature, two upright spin modes exist in the T-45. (See Figure 17) degree true AOA spin mode degree true AOA spin mode 30 DEGREE TRUE AOA SPIN MODE The 30-degree mode is characterized by AOA above 28 units, nose low, and airspeed 150KIAS or greater increasing 10 KIAS per turn, stabilizing at about 180 KIAS. Turn needle is pegged in the direction of the spin. Altitude loss is approximately 1250 feet per turn. Average roll rate is near 60 degrees per second and yaw rate is 40 degrees per second. Spin rate is about 6 seconds per turn. The 30-degree mode is characterized as a jerky, diving spiral since the average nose position becomes lower with each turn. This mode could be described as a jerky nose low rudder roll.
40 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Change 1 T-45 Characteristics Note: The low AOA (spiral) mode has mild oscillations in roll. As the oscillations build, the aircraft may transition to an inverted spin or to the 45-degree AOA upright spin. 45 DEGREE TRUE AOA SPIN MODE The 45-degree mode is characterized by AOA at 30 units. Airspeed is fairly steady at about 100 to 110 KIAS. Turn needle is pegged in the direction of the spin. This high AOA mode averages 4 seconds per turn and altitude loss is 1000 feet per turn. This mode begins to oscillate in roll as AOA approaches 45 degrees and the roll oscillations grow divergently. The early oscillations will most likely cause the engine to surge. Note: As oscillations build, the aircraft may gyrate out of the upright spin mode and either recover or couple down into a pitch down departure or an inverted spin RECOVERY FROM AN UPRIGHT SPIN Figure 17b: UPRIGHT SPIN Recovery from the 30 or 45 degree upright true AOA spin modes is accomplished by first neutralizing lateral and longitudinal stick and rudder, retracting speed brakes (if extended), and retarding the throttle to idle until spin mode has been determined. The aircraft will likely recover from either upright spin mode by just neutralizing controls, and normally in less than one turn. NATOPS goes on to say, if the aircraft doesn t recover from an upright spin for some unknown reason with neutral controls, use rudder opposite the turn needle and lateral stick into the turn needle. Recovery can be recognized by AOA fluctuating or decreasing as opposed to remaining at 30 units, yaw and roll rates dampening out and airspeed increasing. WARNING: Extended speed brakes are destabilizing and may aggravate the departure and delay recovery. If the rudder blows out due to sideslip forces, a spin is possible and recovery will be delayed. CAUTION: You should expect engine anomalies following any departure. Retarding the throttle to idle will minimize engine problems, but will not eliminate the potential for a flameout or locked-in surge. Note: Test flight results indicate there is no sustained upright spin mode with neutral controls. WARNING: NATOPS prohibits cross-control departures 307. DEPARTURE RECOVERY PROCEDURES Forcefully centering the rudder pedals and neutralizing the control stick, along with retarding the throttle will usually recover the aircraft from a departure. Extended speed brakes are destabilizing and may aggravate the departure and delay recovery. If the rudder is allowed to blow out due to sideslip forces, a spin is possible and recovery will be delayed. You should expect engine anomalies following any departure. Retarding the throttle to idle will minimize engine problems but will not eliminate the potential for a flameout or locked-in engine compressor stalls. Page 27
41 T-45 Characteristics Change 1 Out-of-Control Flight FTI You should check the airspeed, AOA and turn needle to monitor your recovery progress or to determine if you are in a spin. If your airspeed is oscillating between 50 and 160 KIAS, AOA is pegged at 0 units, and the turn needle is pegged, you are in an inverted spin. Although a stabilized upright spin is unlikely, it would be indicated by AOA above 28 units with similar airspeed and turn needle indications. You should reference AOA for indications of recovery. AOA increasing through 5 units and airspeed increasing through 160KIAS indicate inverted spin recovery. AOA fluctuating or decreasing (as opposed to remaining at 30 units), a dampening of yaw and roll rates, and airspeed increasing indicates recovery from an upright spin NATOPS DEPARTURE SPIN PROCEDURES If spin confirmed *1.

DEPARTURE CHECKLIST COMPLETE Upon returning the aircraft to wings level after each of the following maneuvers, check that the oil pressure warning light is out before adding power. It is possible that during gyrations, the oil may cavitate out of the pump, and oil pressure may drop to zero. If all engine instruments are indicating normally, add power. When you recover from the last departure, complete the following post-departure checklist: POST-DEPARTURE CHECKLIST 1. CONTR AUG ALL After the last maneuver, you will most likely have to realign the navigation instruments. After landing, make a careful post-flight inspection of the aircraft. Look for popped rivets, loose or missing screws and fasteners, and wrinkled or cracked skin placing emphasis on the empennage area HIGH AOA DEEP STALL INVESTIGATION/RUDDER-INDUCED DEPARTURE You will begin with an exploration of the fully stalled characteristics of the T-45. Previously, you have practiced stalls to learn recognition and recovery from the onset of the stall. This maneuver will demonstrate the flight characteristics much farther into the stall, up to approximately 30 units AOA. Before entering a high AOA/deep stall condition, you should know what indications to expect. You will not necessarily experience all of the following indications of deep stall, nor will you experience them in any particular sequence: Increasingly heavier buffeting as stall deepens Page 29
43 Out-of-Control Syllabus Maneuvers Change 1 Out-of-Control Flight FTI Yaw rate Increasing sink rate Wing drop Reduced lateral control Start at or above 20,000 ft in the clean configuration. Reduce power to IDLE rpm and raise the nose 10 degrees to trade altitude for airspeed as the aircraft slows to 20 units AOA. Do not trim past 150 KIAS. You should notice that the rudder and aileron effectiveness will be adequate at 20 units. As you increase AOA, you will get the rudder shakers at 21.5 units. As you slowly increase the AOA to units, you will experience your first buffet and wing drop with very little warning. At units AOA, the aircraft will be in light to moderate buffet, and you may encounter mild porpoising. Notice that the rudder and aileron effectiveness are reduced. Notice the adverse yaw generated by aileron deflection. Increase the AOA to units by smoothly but firmly applying full back stick. You will experience heavy buffet, wing drop, stall noise, and a large sink rate. Airspeed will be approximately KIAS. The aircraft is fully stalled, and aileron effectiveness is marginal. Attempt to maintain wings level with rudder only. Do not use aileron to counter any roll tendencies. If the aircraft rolls into an angle of bank of 90 degrees or more, recover. If you are able to hold wings level with rudder, you will induce a departure with rudder only. Maintain full back stick and input half rudder in one direction to achieve greater than 30 degrees AOB. Try to return to level flight by inputting full rudder in the opposite direction. The aircraft should start to roll in the direction of the last rudder input, then quickly roll back into the initial direction and depart. As the aircraft departs, perform your OCF procedures. The aircraft will quickly recover, and airspeed will begin to build. Recover to the nearest horizon at 150 KIAS by rolling wings level and commencing an optimum AOA pullout (17 units). Do not pull past 17 units AOA to avoid pulling into an accelerated stall during recovery LOW AIRSPEED DEPARTURES The objective of the low airspeed departure is to demonstrate the effects of inertia and loss of aerodynamic forces. At zero airspeed, the only forces acting on the aircraft are gravity and the inertia generated before reaching zero airspeed. If you hold the controls neutral, the effect of gravity will cause the aircraft to seek the relative wind. As the aircraft accelerates, flight controls will become effective before the AOA is reduced below stall. Consequently, any lateral control input (stick or rudder) will introduce a yaw rate. This coupled with a stalled AOA is a pro-spin input, so keep controls neutral until airspeed increases through 150KIAS. Low airspeed departures can occur anytime airspeed is so low that aerodynamic forces are negligible, and the aircraft is functionally ballistic. This can occur above 0 KIAS and in any nose-high attitude (not necessarily vertical). Note: You WILL NOT initiate any low airspeed departures within 20 degrees of pure vertical in the aircraft. 70-DEGREE NOSE-HIGH DEPARTURE To enter the 70-degree nose-high departure, start at 300 KIAS minimum, no lower than 14,000 ft AGL. Begin a smooth unit pull to 70 degrees nose-high and reduce power to idle as you decelerate below 150 KIAS. Apply aft stick as necessary referencing the ADI to maintain 70 degrees nose-up while decelerating. Do not use trim in this maneuver. As the aircraft departs, perform your OCF procedures. The departure is indicated by airspeed decreasing to 0 KIAS (actually 50 KIAS is the minimum on the airspeed indicator) and the nose falling. Neutralize flight controls as they become ineffective. Do not try to counter any oscillations as the nose falls through. At near zero airspeed, there will not be enough control authority to prevent oscillations, and any Page 30
